NEW YORK STATE TROOPER ACCUSED OF TRYING TO RAPE A WOMAN BEGAN IN FULL TODAY... WITH OPENING STATEMENTS. TREVOR DONAH IS CHARGED WITH FIRST DEGREE ATTEMPTED RAPE, SECOND DEGREE ASSAULT AND FIRST DEGREE UNLAWFUL IMPRISONMENT. NEWS CHANNEL FIVE'S ALISON CAREY JOINS US LIVE WITH TODAY'S COURTROOM DEVELOPMENTS. THE JURY IS FINALLY IN PLACE AFTER THREE DAYS OF JURY SELECTION...AND LATE THIS AFTERNOON; LAWYERS FOR BOTH SIDES LAID OUT THEIR CASES. THE TWO HAD VERY DIFFERENT TAKES AS TO WHAT HAPPENED BACK IN SEPTEMBER OF 2008, BETWEEN DONAH AND A WOMAN HE KNOWS. THE PROSECUTION SAYS THE TWO WERE HAVING A FIGHT. They SAY DONAH ATTACKED AND ATTEMPTED TO RAPE HER. THE DEFENSE AGREES THAT THERE WAS A FIGHT-- BUT THEY SAY THE WOMAN IN QUESTION THREATENED TO DESTROY SOME OF DONAH'S PROPERTY. THE DEFENSE SAYS SHE ATTACKED HIM AND HE WAS DEFENDING HIMSELF. TOMORROW THE PROSECUTION WILL CALL ITS FIRST WITNESS. THE PROSECUTOR IS ACTUALLY FROM THE FRANKLIN COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE; EVEN THOUGH THE TRIAL IS BEING HELD IN CLINTON COUNTY. THE SPECIAL PROSECTUORS WERE ASSIGNED to the CASE BECAUSE DONAH WORKED AS A STATE TROOPER IN PLATTSBURGH FOR FIVE YEARS. HE WORKED CLOSELY WITH CLINTON COUNTY OFFICIALS. THIS CASE IS ONE OF THREE SETS OF ALLEGATIONS BROUGHT AGAINST DONAH. THE ALLEGATIONS INVOLVE THREE SEPARATE WOMEN AND THREE SEPARATE TRIALS ARE EXPECTED. THIS TRIAL IS SET TO RESUME TOMORROW MORNING.
